Players will run one at a time movng from side to side hitting three larger cones then exploting out to other end of the grid. Nex player in line can go as soon as the first cone is touched. Once all 6 players are through from one side it will be the other players turn to go. They will be going the opposite direction as their partners did.

Coaching Points:

Warm / SAQ

Warm Up / SAQ (Progression # 1)

Activity:

Two players from the same side are leaving as the first goup. Those two players will run through the 3 larger cones bending ther runs back across the half line looking the recieve a ball from the next player in line. Once the players are equal with the last cone a player from the opposite end will leave to apply pressure on the attacker forcing them to play the ball back where it came from. Each of the three players wilt get a chance to play with pressure from behind then the balls will switch sides and roles will be reversed.

Technical

TechnicalOrganization: Two grids side by side 20x15 with two small goals. Activity: Players (forwards starting in the middle) make bent runs checking back from the ball. Two balls are played at the same time to both forwards checking in. Trailing defenders are allowed to leave their cone as soon as the first movement is made by the forwards. Forwards are looking to beat the defenders 1v1 and score on the small goals at the other end of the grid. Transition from forwards to midfield players playing the passes in. Keep track of your points while on offense. Defenders will defend for 3-5 minutes then the two teams will switch places. Coaching Points: 1. Make two movements to create as much space as possible. 2. Check your shoulder.3. It may take more than two movements to find the pass. 4. If the defenders are bitting on the short pass look for something in behind.5. Always be communicating with your teammates. The pass should be fed in with information. (turn/time/play back/ etc.)

Technical / Tactical

Technical / Tactical

Organization: Two 10x10 boxes one on top of the other right on top of the 18 yard box.

Activity:

Forward (one side at a time) checks into the top 10x10 grid and recieves a pass from his teammate. Forward is being tracked/put under pressure by a defender starting on the endline by either side of the goal post. Forward decides if it is best to play the ball back to one of the center mids (not the one who made the frist pass) and create a 2v1 situation or try to turn the defender and get in on goal. Dont forget checking player can make two runs. The first one back to the ball and if the defender is touch tight a run in behind is another option to get forward.

Coaching Points:

1. Check in at angles.

2. Always check your shoulder to see where the defender is and how much time you have.

3. Be creative with your runs.

4. Runs in behind can be more dangerous at times when the defender always looking to step in.

Tactical

Tactical (Small Sided / Game)

Organization: Field split into three grids (zones) 1v1, 2v2+2, 1v1.

Activity:

Players who are playing in the final third are deciding when they need to lay the ball off to a midfielder who is showing for the ball and spin off or turn quickly and get a shot off on goal. The ball must be played through the forwards feet before you can get a shot off.

Coaching Points:

1. Forwards need to move and swing with the ball no matter what zone it is in.

2. Arrive on time with your runs not too early or too late.

3. Mix up your runs and attcks when driving at the defender. (go left/right, fast and slow)
